This issue I know is a repeat. But it is NOT resolved as Microsoft wants us to believe.

I've had enough of Microsoft deciding to switch my pencil from "Select Objects" to "Draw" mode automatically. This is NOT how Word or any other Microsoft product should work.

What are we, returning to caveman days when all we could do was draw? I think NOT..

Fix it Microsoft. If I set the Apple Pencil to "Select Objects" then it should stay there until I CHOOSE to set to to "Draw" mode. Not when YOU THINK I want it to change.

The tool of Myscript Math Sample are useful, but not perfect because the handwriting area are too small. We need a equation editor with surport of both handwriting and keyboard(better in Latex).

We would like to insert borders in word for IPAD

For example, when I try to reformat a/the normal Style, the letterhead gets messed up. If I try and call the header a new Style, it gets messed up.

It is normal to base a header on the Normal Style and then change it. I think that the problem is that I use tiny spaces to shift words and when I change the style, all the spaces get set to the size of the letters.

Ability to easily size and position of inserted photos/images rather than just by drag and drop. So the use of a dialogue box with size by typing or +/- nudge icons as well as ratio lock and other relevant options.

If I'm using Word, then the phone locks (manual or timeout) and unlocks (using Face ID) it always opens to the home screen instead of Word. I would like it to take me straight back to Word where I left off in the document I was working on.

I have tried both enabling and disabling background refresh, makes no difference.

I’d like more proofing symbols (tab and space marks) as well as ability to insert footnotes.

Allow us to create our own customizable default “Blank page/template”
with our own default font style, color, margins size etc. - which gets saved into the same area as all the other templates - so we don’t have to customize the current “Blank page/template” each and every time we start a new document. Just like changing the default “normal template.docx” in the full Word version.

Also please add shading of text (I don’t mean highlighting) + a toggle to permanently see the ruler and set it to in inches. Thank you for your help.

Pretty self explanitory.. one should be able to recover unsaved documents on an iPad in Word.

A gesture already exists in other IOS software where you use two fingers to swipe-around-the-screen and move the cursor like a mouse. MS Word currently uses the two finger gesture to Zoom. Since I move the cursor more than I zoom in and out, I'd like to see this gesture repurposed for the mouse-like cursor movement.

I purchased an iPad Pro to upgrade from my old MacBook Pro, BUT there is no mail merge in word for the iPad. This is a disaster as I am unable to print any certificates. I am going to have to return the iPad for a refund and cancel my Office 365

Would like to edit tables by deleting table lines, also an option to distribute tables would be awesome

On iPad Pro there are two UNDO icons; one on the on-screen keypad and one on the Word menu.
First: It is often that UNDO does nothing at all.
Second: It is often the UNDO does not perform the undo on the current line being edited, but instead mysteriously jumps to the end of a line or paragraph where I last pasted some text... and begins to undue the characters from the end of the pasted texts. (Why would that even happen?)
Please fix the reliability and behavior of UNDO

Would be great if we could add our own personal NAS to 'Places' so we are not tied to using third party cloud storage providers.

We've noticed that the Word iOS app doesn't seem to copy the formatting when we paste it into other apps it loses the formatting. This causes friction as the user needs to then change all the formatting within the app to match what was in Word.
